Great CVS Run Today!
I had the opportunity to take a long lunch today, so I decided to make a big CVS run today. A few of the special package deals with the ECBs have been marked down this week, and since you get the ECBs with purchases through January 31, there are some really good deals to have. Here is the rundown of my deals from today (multiple cards and transactions):
- 10 Cottonelle Bonus Packs (20 rolls each) – $4.99 each
- 9 J&J Cotton Swab Bonus Packs – $2.49 each
- 2 Ascencia Breeze2 diabetes monitors – $9.99 each
- 1 Diet Pepsi 12 pack – $3.34
- 1 Bag Cool Ranch Doritos 12.5oz – $2.00
- 1 Milky Way – $0.69
- Merchandise Total – $98.32
- Total CVS Coupons used – $9.00
- Total Manufacturer Coupons used – $30.00
- Total ECBs used – $52.91
- Total OOP – $6.77
- Total ECBs Earned – $57.98 (plus $10 from the Pepsi deal completed today)
So after it is all said and done, I came away with 200 rolls of TP, 9000 cotton swabs, 2 glucose monitors, and some junk food for $1.70. Also, the glucose monitors each have $9.99 rebates, so once those rebates are received I will actually make $17.46 from today’s transactions (deducting out the price of the stamps).
The interesting part of the run was that I encountered another CVSer at my first store. She saw five packs of the Cottonelle loaded up in my cart and asked if I was restocking them (she apparently thought I worked there). I pointed her to the ones that were left and asked her if she was a SlickDeals person (she was a HotCouponWorld user instead). Oddly enough I saw her again two stores later when we met up at the glucose monitor shelf to clear out the remaining Breeze2′s. Luckily for me, she had several of the manufacturer coupons for the monitor she didn’t need anymore and gave to me. I then made my way over to the next store and saw her walk in as I was checking out with more TP. Great minds think alike I guess.
